"I have been an elementary school teacher for the last 3 and a half years, I have my Master's degree in curriculum and instruction. My experiences in tutoring are through an afterschool program called Learning Lab, which is offered in my school district. It hones in on specific skills or subject areas that the students are falling behind in and helps them reach academic success. I have been doing this for the last two years now in my school district.

My approach to tutoring is just like teaching in a classroom. Just as you would design a curriculum for your class, develop a tutoring plan that outlines the goals, materials, and milestones for each student. This plan should be adaptable, allowing you to cater to the individual needs and learning paces of your students.

Secondly, incorporate interactive and engaging teaching methods into your tutoring. Utilize the techniques that have proven successful in your classroom, such as collaborative learning, problem-solving activities, and real-world applications. However, take advantage of the one-on-one setting to foster a more interactive dialogue. Encourage students to ask questions, express their thoughts, and work through problems aloud. This immediate feedback loop can significantly enhance their understanding and retention of the material." less...
